Patient's question:
Husband and wife often live apart due to work reasons, so they rarely have sexual life. Last week, when I had a gynecological examination, it was found that there was hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes. At that time, the doctor said that this symptom may also be related to having too little sexual life. Does lack of sex cause hydronephrosis of the fallopian tubes?Doctor's answer:
Not having sexual activity will not cause and will never cause hydrosalpinx; there is no necessary connection between the two. Most cases of hydrosalpinx are caused by the accumulation of fluid due to isolation within the lumen of the fallopian tubes. Generally, hydrosalpinx cannot be self-repaired by the body and requires treatment. Therefore, early treatment for this condition is very important.
